Monster Gun
Ive got a Bostitch nailer that was given to me some years ago after doing a job with 3x decking. I dont have a model number.
Its the kind of tool you may never use, but if you did it would be a life saver. It shoots 30 penny nails. My question is does anyone know if you can still buy nails for this beast? |

Re: Monster Gun
WOW! That thing is a beast! You should put something in the photo to give it scale. Like a dollar bill or something.
This one looks pretty close. http://www.industrialnailers.com/bos...ingnailer.aspx Maybe look into the nails for this gun. It's a high-power stick timber nailer http://www.bostitch.com/default.asp?...=BIGBERTA160-2 Joe Last edited by AustinReDevelop; 12-04-2008 at 06:08 PM. |

Re: Monster Gun
Man, that is a tank! I have an old DuoFast around here somewhere, my first one from the 80's. I'll see if I can dig that out. I thought I had the beast of pneumatic nailers.
Caaa-chunk!

Re: Monster Gun
Big Bertha.. I like it. Yeah it's about 60d. I can't imagine that thing. You probably need a bipod like on a machine gun, ear protection, and muzzle break on that thing!

Re: Monster Gun
Judging from the title of the post I thought I would see this youtube video, so not to disappoint any like me i'll post it. Not trying to hijack just don't want anyone misled. :-)

Re: Monster Gun
We used to have a paslode 6'' framing gun but it got ripped off. When we went to buy another Fastners said they don't make nails for it anymore. I still got 3 boxes of smooth shank nails. I don't if it is worth it to ship the nails from Michigan to your state.
